To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905. We have heardH8085 with our earsH241, O GodH430, our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us, what workH6467 thou didstH6466 in their daysH3117, in the timesH3117 of oldH6924.
How thou didst drive outH3423 the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193 them; how thou didst afflictH7489 the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.
For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423 by their own swordH2719, neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467 them: but thy right handH3225, and thine armH2220, and the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440, because thou hadst a favourH7521 unto them.
Thou art my KingH4428, O GodH430: commandH6680 deliverancesH3444 for JacobH3290.
Through thee will we push downH5055 our enemiesH6862: through thy nameH8034 will we tread them underH947 that rise upH6965 against us.
For I will not trustH982 in my bowH7198, neither shall my swordH2719 saveH3467 me.
But thou hast savedH3467 us from our enemiesH6862, and hast put them to shameH954 that hatedH8130 us.
In GodH430 we boastH1984 all the dayH3117 long, and praiseH3034 thy nameH8034 for everH5769. SelahH5542.
ButH637 thou hast cast offH2186, and put us to shameH3637; and goest not forthH3318 with our armiesH6635.
Thou makest us to turnH7725 backH268 from the enemyH6862: and they which hateH8130 us spoilH8154 for themselves.
Thou hast givenH5414 us like sheepH6629 appointed for meatH3978; and hast scatteredH2219 us among the heathenH1471. {like…: Heb. as sheep of meat}
Thou sellestH4376 thy peopleH5971 for noughtH1952, and dost not increaseH7235 thy wealth by their priceH4242. {for…: Heb. without riches}
Thou makestH7760 us a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
Thou makestH7760 us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816.
My confusionH3639 is continuallyH3117 before me, and the shameH1322 of my faceH6440 hath coveredH3680 me,
For the voiceH6963 of him that reproachethH2778 and blasphemethH1442; by reasonH6440 of the enemyH341 and avengerH5358.
All this is comeH935 upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911 thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266 in thy covenantH1285.
Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472 backH268, neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186 from thy wayH734; {steps: or, goings}
Though thou hast sore brokenH1794 us in the placeH4725 of dragonsH8577, and coveredH3680 us with the shadow of deathH6757.
If we have forgottenH7911 the nameH8034 of our GodH430, or stretched outH6566 our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114 godH410;
Shall not GodH430 search this outH2713? for he knowethH3045 the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820.
Yea, for thy sake are we killedH2026 all the dayH3117 long; we are countedH2803 as sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878.
AwakeH5782, why sleepestH3462 thou, O LordH136? ariseH6974, cast us not offH2186 for everH5331.
Wherefore hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440, and forgettestH7911 our afflictionH6040 and our oppressionH3906?
For our soulH5315 is bowed downH7743 to the dustH6083: our bellyH990 cleavethH1692 unto the earthH776.
AriseH6965 for our helpH5833, and redeemH6299 us for thy mercies'H2617 sake. {for our…: Heb. a help for us}

All this is comeH935 upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911 thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266 in thy covenantH1285.
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
O LORDH3068 my GodH430, if I have doneH6213 this; if there beH3426 iniquityH5766 in my handsH3709;
If I have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto him that was at peaceH7999 with me; (yea, I have deliveredH2502 him that without causeH7387 is mine enemyH6887:)
Let the enemyH341 persecuteH7291 my soulH5315, and takeH5381 it; yea, let him tread downH7429 my lifeH2416 upon the earthH776, and layH7931 mine honourH3519 in the dustH6083. SelahH5542.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, As soon as I am gone outH3318 of the cityH5892, I will spread abroadH6566 my handsH3709 unto the LORDH3068; and the thunderH6963 shall ceaseH2308, neither shall there be any more hailH1259; that thou mayest knowH3045 how that the earthH776 is the LORD'SH3068.
If I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, or if my footH7272 hath hastedH2363 to deceitH4820;
Let me be weighedH8254 in an evenH6664 balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 mine integrityH8538. {Let…: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my stepH838 hath turned outH5186 of the wayH1870, and mine heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 mine eyesH5869, and if any blotH3971 hath cleavedH1692 to mine handsH3709;
Then let me sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let my offspringH6631 be rooted outH8327.
If mine heartH3820 have been deceivedH6601 by a womanH802, or if I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour'sH7453 doorH6607;
Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 unto anotherH312, and let othersH312 bow downH3766 upon her.
For this is an heinous crimeH2154; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414.
For it is a fireH784 that consumethH398 to destructionH11, and would root outH8327 all mine increaseH8393.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him?
Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH7358? {did not one…: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof;
(For from my youthH5271 he was brought upH1431 with me, as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 her from my mother'sH517 wombH990;) {her: that is, the widow}
If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682;
If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;
If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:
Then let mine armH3802 fallH5307 from my shoulder bladeH7929, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the boneH7070. {bone: or, chanelbone}
For destructionH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his highnessH7613 I couldH3201 not endure.
If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hopeH3689, or have saidH559 to the fine goldH3800, Thou art my confidenceH4009;
If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because mine handH3027 had gottenH4672 muchH3524; {gotten…: Heb. found much}
If I beheldH7200 the sunH216 when it shinedH1984, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightnessH3368; {sun: Heb. light} {in…: Heb. bright}
And my heartH3820 hath been secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, or my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027: {my mouth…: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgeH6416: for I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is aboveH4605.
If I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him:
Neither have I sufferedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by wishingH7592 a curseH423 to his soulH5315. {mouth: Heb. palate}
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734. {traveller: or, way}
If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926, and bindH6029 it as a crownH5850 to me.
I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I go nearH7126 unto him.
If my landH127 cryH2199 against me, or that the furrowsH8525 likewiseH3162 thereof complainH1058; {complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eatenH398 the fruitsH3581 thereof without moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistlesH2336 growH3318 instead of wheatH2406, and cockleH890 instead of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552. {cockle: or, noisome weeds}
